O, Lord Ganesha, you are the one who blesses all the denizens of this planet earth; You decimated Gajamuka demon; you have such a huge belly; you are elephant-faced; you are kind and benevolent; even when you create obstacles for your devotees, it is for their benefit; praying to you gives devotees lots of patience; you give happiness and fame to your employees; you purify the heart of your devotees; you are full of light and energy; I bow down before you, O, Lord Ganesha.

You are the one who wipes out the tears from the eyes of your devotees; the puranas glorify you; you are the eldest son of the inimitable Lord Shiva; you destroyed the pride of the demons and protected the Devas; during pralaya, you attained a gigantic form ; if provoked, you can be a nightmare; your body is adorned by snakes like Dhananjaya who are like jewels; You have the skill to destroy all evil, O Lord Ganesh, O, Elephant faced God, O, Adivarana, I bow before you, I bow before you.

O, Lord Ganesa, your tusks can illuminate darkness ; you are the son of Lord who decimated kaaldeva; your size is immeasurable; you have a form that can never end; you are the remover of all obstacles; you are in the hearts of yogis; you are brilliant and therefore I bow before you, O, Ekadanta, please give me peace of mind and remove all my negativity.
